Level 88 - Feels Great!

Oh my goodness, another blog post so SOON?! Yes thats right, 88 smithing is finally mine baby! I can now smith up to full adamant yowza :shock:! I am feeling as satisfied as I did those many moons ago when I was chipping my way towards 99 mining. Though the leveling is going to get harder and harder, just as it did before, my will is almost even more strengthened than last time. I also did not know whether I would be willing to smith gold bar after gold bar in hopes of a method that would provide me with 99 smithing free of charge. So far this has spurred me to mine 18.9k gold ores to smelt at my disposal. Though this is quite a large and impressive number this is only a smidgen of the amount needed to 99. We'll see how it goes, I will continue mining and smelting them till I tire of the process and wish to level another way :).

And yes I finally did get access to the Edgeville Furnace...

Besides gaining a truckload of ores and bars I've hit the 16 million mining xp mark! I never envisioned being 1 million xp (let alone 3 million xp) over the experience required for level 99. This has had a positive effect on my mining rank and put me within the top 600 miners of RuneScape. I don't think I'll ever be insane enough to go for 200 million mining xp but I cannot tell you how happy I am to have even gotten this far. I just can't ever seem to put my pickaxe to rest though :grin:...
